Many of us think that phone radiation is a carcinogen. Which makes us a bit of a lack of comfort and reassurance of these phones. We find some of us very keen to keep the phone away from it as much as possible, especially when sleeping. But we quickly forget these risks and cuddle our phones all the time, even when we sleep. There is no doubt that this created an obsession for many, that there must be some type of health and societal risks caused by this technology. Is this real?

Finally: the truth behind phone radiation causing cancer

Surely few of us know what radiation is, what types it is, and how it works. Most of us are terrified and anxious about just hearing the word "radiation." So is all radiation harmful and causing these deadly diseases? Did research and studies reach what states that phones actually cause cancer? Certainly, it is a detail.

Phones have been with us for nearly three decades. During these years, many researchers have studied the effect of phones on human health, and are they carcinogenic or not? It is assumed that we get a definitive, definitive answer that proves or denies, with conclusive evidence, that this matter happened. However, studies and research on this subject are devoted to the understanding and study of these radiation waves. And those studies concluded that our current understanding of radio waves gives us indications that phones do not cause cancer! But this matter is still under discussion in either confirming or denying these results.

Among these studies is a Danish study in 2004, which was applied over a period of ten years, and no link was found between phone radiation and cancer. This was followed by a 2005 Swedish study that concluded that there was no relationship between cell phone use and an increased risk of cancer.

Then, an all British, Swedish and German study proves that they did not notice an increase in the risk of these diseases. This does not prevent the existence of some other studies that prove the existence of a risk from these radiations, but in the long term, such as using the phone for more than ten years or more, they found that it has a link with an increased risk of developing carcinomas, especially in the auditory nerve, which is a benign type that affects The brain. But in the end, all of the above needs final studies that confirm or deny the occurrence of such injuries, and this has not happened yet.

The radiation emitted by the phone is in no way similar to that of nuclear radiation. Because nuclear radiation is known as "ionizing" radiation. It suffices you to know that it has a high energy capable of destroying the human DNA. The researchers agreed that it is undoubtedly carcinogenic.

As for phones, the radiation emitted by them is a "non-ionizing" radiation that has no harm to human health, such as radiation from a radio or microwave. But the question remains, does exposure to these radiations and interact with them for a long time have an effect in one way or another on our bodies?

To answer this question, he said: “Jonathan Summit” - Dean of the Colorado School of Public Health and expert in telephony - who led a group of researchers from the World Health Organization on the topic of the impact of telephone radiation and its cause of cancer. And these researchers considered that the radiation of phones is likely to be a carcinogen, but they are not definitively confirmed with a yes or no. After six years of that study, Dr. "Summit" said that the evidence is still mixed, but there are some indications that there are risks from these radiations.

And those studies are still in place, some of them find that there is a link between phone radiation and cancer, and some of them do not find a link there. In response, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated that those differences give us confidence that the current safety limits for phone radiation remain acceptable in their public health impact.

Conclusion

We all know that it is surrounded by phone signals, Wi-Fi, radio, cell phone networks, and all kinds of wireless radiation and is exposed to it all day and night, and there is no escape from it. And still, all of this is less dangerous than the risk of cancer caused by excessive eating red meat! Therefore, you should not be upset or anxious until the results of the research come to light.

Do you have another opinion about the effect of phone radiation on human health? Let us know in the comments.
